SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 249,524, dated ,November 15, 1881.

- Application filed Angust23,1881. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ULIUs HILBORN, of the city and county of New York, in the State of' or steels employed to stifl'en such parts; also,

to reduce the quantity of staying material employed in such parts of the corset as are required to be very stiff, and thus cheapen the production.

V My invention consists in pleated material arranged in the side sections of a corset in horizo zontal lines, to extend in a direction around the corset,in combination with groups of cords extending diagonally. across the pleated mate rial, as will be more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view of a corset embodying my invention and Fig. Q'represents a perspective view of a piece of the pleated material which I propose to employ in the manufacture ofcorsets.

A designates the front section or portion of the corset. B designates the back section or portion thereof, and G designates one of the. side sections or portions thereof. In the present example of my invention the side sections or portions only embody my invention, and the back and front sections or portions may be made in any desirable way. The side section the pleated material by means of bands b which cover them, and which are stitched to thepleated material at their edges and at the sides of and between the cords a a, as clearly represented by dotted lines in Fig. 1. Pleated material employed as here represented, or otherwise, imparts great stiffness to the corset and; provides the support necessary for the wearer Without the use of bones, steel, or other hard substances usually employed for stiffening corsets and such acorsetis, moreover,imorefiexible than where bone or steel is employed for stiffening the corset.

' What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In the side section of a corset, pleated material arranged in horizontal lines to extend ina direction around the corset, in combination with groups of cords extending diagonally across the pleated material, substantially as and for the purpose described.
